Pic This: Suck It, France!

Q. How does it feel to be so popular with the crowd here at
Wimbledon?

RAFAEL NADAL: You know, probably is the best
crowd of the world, no? More respect. They have a lot of respect for
every player, I think.

If I speak about myself, was always
amazing with me, the crowd, especially yesterday or two days ago when I
played against Andy Murray, a British player. For sure the crowd support
him, but the same time was supporting me a lot, no? That's
unbelievable. Just can say thank you very much.

I quite loved Rafa going out of his way, both in his winner's speech and his presser to give props to the Wimbly crowd. A fantastic passive-aggressive dig at the Roland Garros crowd who, despite all the great performances he's given, still haven't warmed up to him.
